I was so thrilled on Friday, when I went onto the website for my daily fix of pictures of adorable kittens and fluffy puppies, to see two pictures of my Nana staring back at me!
Photo caption:
“This is my Nana when she was around 16 or 17, in the late 1930s. This was taken while she was growing up in Germany and had to do an obligatory “Landfrauenjahr” (year of land service). Usually girls were sent to work on a farm – hence the animals! She hated her year there, but found joy in looking after the animals. She survived WWII and emigrated to Canada, where I’m writing this from! I love your website – it makes me so happy inside!” -Britt.
I found the comments below the photo from various Cute Overload-ers very touching. These are two of my favourite pictures of my Nana from her youth; I'm so happy that Cute Overload decided to share them with the rest of the Internet-world!
And really, they do provide a nice little glimpse into European fashion in the 30s. ;)
